To honor the Italian family eatery’s 22nd year of the “Never Ending Pasta Bowl” menu, Olive Garden is offering an unlimited deal pass for $100, and it will be limited to the first 22,000 customers. And when they say unlimited, they mean unlimited.

For eight weeks from September 25 through November 19, those with a pass can go to Olive Garden for lunch or dinner—yes, in the same day if your stomach can take it—and get as much pasta (including sauces, toppings, soup or salad, and those addicting breadsticks) as they can handle.

If you want to act on this deal, you’ll to be on the website and ready to purchase by 2 p.m. EST. In the past two years, it has sold out within seconds.

Getting a pass bodes well for anyone getting ready for a fall marathon or half right now. With a quick glance at the 2017 Runner’s World Calendar, we noted several big weekend races where a carbo-load at Olive Garden throughout the final weeks of training could be the fuel you need to snag a PR. (Editor’s note: While we do love pasta, we can’t recall any study that says eating dozens of pounds of pasta will actually make you faster. But feel free to try!)
